RALEIGH, N.C. – DPR Construction has been selected by North Carolina State University to build the school’s new Plant Sciences Building in Raleigh, North Carolina. The project includes construction of a five-story, 187,000-square-foot interdisciplinary research building, comprising research laboratories, office space, corporate laboratory and office suites, hearth/atrium space, support space and shared, flexible conferencing space. The partial fifth floor will house Biosafety Levels 2 and 3 rooftop greenhouses.
The Plant Sciences Building will house the North Carolina Plant Sciences Initiative – a partnership between NC State University and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The initiative will draw the brightest minds in academia, government and industry together to form cross-disciplinary teams working collaboratively on innovations that will introduce new plant breeds, increase crop yields, enhance sustainability and extend growing seasons.
Flad Architects is designing the building, which is expected to begin construction in July 2019.
